Second Marriage - Chapter 6
With a thump, Xiao Youning fell on the soft cushion, and Ye Shen followed in, and sat down calmly in her panicked eyes.
The carriage barely stayed from appearing to leaving. It rushed out of the crowd chasing them all the way. Yuanguo jumped onto the cowl when she rushed to chase her girl, and was taken out with her half body hung on the side of the carriage.
The car was galloping with the running horse, and the chasing noise behind her became quieter, and was gradually replaced by the sound of horseshoes and cartwheels.
Xiao Youning only recovered at this moment, leaning on the wall of the car to stand up, the wheel ran into a small hole, and the car jumped for a while, she fell back to the ground again in the bumps.
Sitting not far away, Ye Shen didn’t seem to reach out his hand to help, and didn’t move. So indifferent to Xiao Youning, she suspected that it was not the person in front of her who rescued her from the fire pit just now.
Xiao Youning lowered his eyes in this silence, pressing one hand on the ankle.
It hurts deeply there because she was thrown into the carriage and hit the carriage door frame. She couldn’t stand still just now because of her foot injury.
“Girl! How are you!”
Yuanguo’s voice came in from outside, and a frustrated Xiao Youning hurriedly responded, with surprises in his eyes: “I’m fine.”
It was too chaotic just now, and there was no time for her to react at all, Yuanguo also followed and left, finally she was shocked!
“If you move around again, I will throw you down!”
Xiao Youning’s words fell, but the warning came from Jianyin. Yuanguo wanted to climb into the carriage, and almost fell off the carriage during the bumps. It was Jianyin who pulled the person back with one hand, so naturally she had no good temper.
Yuanguo himself was also frightened, and the little life he had just recovered was almost lost again, and he didn’t respond even after being scolded.
Xiao Youning heard that it was not good, and then shouted out: “Yuanguo, sit down, I am fine, don’t worry!”
After a while, she heard Yuanguo respond weakly, and the voice was blown by the night wind, making it even more inaudible.
After that sound, the carriage fell into silence again, and Ye Shen sat there silently, raising Xiao Youning’s pressure like a mountain.
She pressed her ankle with her hand, pursed her lips, and suddenly looked up at him.
“Thank you Dao Chang for helping me. Just now Dao Chang said it was true. I didn’t protect myself. I told you that. It is really selfish. I want to ask Dao Chang to take me out of there.”
When the words started, Xiao Youning’s heart became relaxed.
These words were what she wanted to say just now, but when she encountered a sudden change, she swallowed all the words.
She smiled at Ye Shen and said sincerely, “Thank you, Chief Dao.”
Ye Shen’s eyes finally fell on her. The facial features of the little girl with the face upturned were not clear in the dimness, occasionally moonlight shone in through the gaps in the curtains and fell on the side of her face. The skin was dazzling white. At the same time, the dim light also refracted the water droplets hanging on her eyelashes.
Ye Shen frowned slightly.
Did she cry?
There was an unpleasant memory in his mind, and his face sank.
Xiao Youning noticed that he was looking over, not knowing his state of mind, and wondering whether he forgave her for another plot just now.
Just thinking about it, a folding fan came over.
The fan pendant is a network of red threads entwined with a piece of white jade pendant.
She stared at the slightly swaying fan pendant in a daze.
This is… She stretched out her hand to hold the fan handle, was pulled up from the ground by a pulling force, and was finally able to sit on the car wall.
“Thank you, Chief Dao.” Xiao Youning sat across from him and thanked him again.
This Taoist priest is actually not so inaccessible to him.
Ye Shen glanced over the handle of the fan that she had held, and threw it to his side. He lifted his eyelids and circled her face and said, “You don’t have to thank you. You can tell me sincerely.”
He said faintly, Xiao Youning showed the first smile tonight: “Dao has grown up, don’t care about me.”
Ye Shen meant that when she spoke to him, she did not deliberately cover up the female voice.
The girl’s voice can be distinguished with one mouth. When she looked for him, she was really not prepared to hide it.
Xiao Youning thought, this Taoist leader is actually very kind, willing to believe that she has a sincere heart in persuading him to leave.
After learning that the guard had not returned from feeding the horse, she knew that she had been abandoned in the village, and that there was no good luck.
The two people who are staying together next door are her only glimmer of hope. Even if the other party is a stranger, she may have jumped from one fire pit to another, but there is no more difficult situation than her right now, she has no way out.
Looking at it now, she still bet right.
Xiao Youning secretly looked at him again. Ye Shen resumed her taciturn state after she spoke.
She noticed that he closed his eyes and seemed to be resting, so she had to withdraw his gaze and bend down and quietly rubbed his sore right foot. Rolling her fingers gently on the top made her almost scream in pain. She hurriedly retracted her hand and dared not touch it again. She slowly moved to the corner of the carriage and curled up against the car wall. Trying to think about today’s affairs and ignore the foot injury.
Because the refugees were besieging her, she was vigilant, otherwise she might just start saying that every day should not.
But why did the guards accompanying her harm her? Her second uncle ordered it? Or did the Li family get the news and bought the security guard of the second room of the Xiao family?
Xiao Youning thought about it, and the first thing he suspected was Master Xiao Er.
If it hadn’t been for Master Xiao Er to appear, and then casually mentioned Datong, she might not have thought of going to her father and brother in person.
By this time, she felt that she was really naive.
Even if someone protects you and the journey to Datong is far away, who can guarantee that there will be no accidents, let alone being mentally calculated.
Moreover, she turned the cart before the horse.
Her father and brother had such a big event, she wanted to see people in her life and get the most accurate news. But no matter how slow the news from Beijing was, how could it be slower than her long journey to Datong.
Beijing is the fastest place to receive news.
She was too urgent at the time, but went into a misunderstanding.
What she never thought was that she had already indicated that she would use the dowry as a gift, or was calculated by her second uncle.
Xiao Youning knew that she was fooled, but she was not upset.
Her dowry is not so easy to swallow. If Erfang really wants to calculate her, then Erfang should ask God to worship the Buddha to bless her. Otherwise, they won’t be able to hold a copper plate.
She is not entirely stupid either.
At this time, the Xiao family was really just as Xiao Youning thought. The second wife of Xiao’s intestines turned green with regret, and she was anxious for news.
It was not until the second shift that her confidant hurried back home from the back door and came all the way to her.
“Madam, the Li family originally had to carry the dowry to the master, but when Li Shilang returned to the house, he directly let the people carry the things back. Mr. Fu Yin was next to him, and Mrs. Fu Yin was facing the long room. The dowry list was counted in the face of the master, and then a seal was put on, saying that if you did not see the long room girl or her handwritten letter, you cannot give the dowry to our second room.”
“Shilang Li said that Xiao’s family has not been separated from the two rooms for a long time, and he dare not rush to hand over so much property! The old slave sees that the Li family wants to swallow the money! The dowry plus the Zhuangzi, it can be converted into several Ten thousand taels, we only got ten thousand taels of cash when we separated!”
When the mother-in-law said of excitement, she spit wildly, as if those were her silver, and her eyes were full of hatred.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xiao took two steps backwards and fell into a chair.
When my husband went to ask for a dowry for the first time, I heard that Li Shilang was hesitating, and some heard that Li’s family said that he wanted to see Xiao Youning before putting on the dowry.
At that time, she felt that there was such a big face in the Li family, and even dared to occupy the dowry after Xiao Youning, she didn’t care at all.
As a result, I probed my husband’s tone and said that the matter would definitely not go well, and that the Li family had Li family’s consideration.
Because the Li family had been rioted in front of the people by Xiao Youning before, and a few days passed, they were also poked at the backbone of the Xiao family’s help. If you want to get back some fame, the Li family will definitely no longer occupy Xiao Youning’s dowry, but Xiao Youning has left Beijing before the dowry is sent back.
In the capital city, only the Xiao family’s room and the two rooms do not communicate. The second master Xiao said that he was asked by his niece to get the dowry, but there was no letter or Xiao Youning’s cronies to prove it. The Li family’s dowry, naturally, has to worry about being said to be with the Xiao family The second room conspired to bully a little girl.
Therefore, when Mrs. Li was about to give back the dowry, Shi Lang Li stopped it. Today, Master Xiao Er went to the door again, and it became that the Li family was determined to see Xiao Youning before putting things away.
“The wolf-hearted Li family, hypocrites!” The second wife of Xiao fell into a chair and scolded bitterly, “They are their own reputation, and they have to drag us down! Obviously they want to swallow it!”
“Madam, what shall we do now? After passing Fu Yin’s place, a seal was still attached, and the dowry list was also taken back by Fu Yin and said to keep it. As long as the girl in the long room does not show up, we can’t get the things! ”
Mrs. Xiao’s confidant anxiously asked for instructions, recalling the things she had ordered, and she was about to vomit blood.
“——It’s you idiot who fought me on the side! Send someone to chase me and let them send me back! Otherwise, all the money will be lost!”
The mother-in-law was scolded stupidly by her, so she didn’t dare to say anything.
It’s not that the wife was so heartbroken that she wanted to swallow the dowry of the long room. How could she agree with the things she said, but now she has all the blame!
The woman dared not even show her anger, so she could only curse a few words in her heart to make remedy.
When I turned around, I saw a person standing at the door. The old woman saw the face of the visitor clearly, and shook and called the master, so she knelt down in fear.
When Mrs. Xiao saw her angry husband, a chill rose from the bottom of her feet when she thought of the words the two had just said.
——
Jianyin drove the carriage and ran until the dawn of the day before stopping at a city gate.
Before the hour to open the city gate, many people rushing into the county town were waiting outside. He looked around and found nothing unusual. He stretched out his hand to push away the round-faced maid who couldn’t resist leaning on him and fell asleep, jumped out of the car shaft and walked to the car window to speak in a low voice.
“Fifth Lord, we are in the county seat. The gate hasn’t opened yet, please wait patiently.”
Ye Shen’s closed eyes opened instantly after hearing the sound, his eyes were clear, and there was no sleepiness.
He didn’t fall asleep at all along the way.
Ye Shen opened his eyes and swept towards Xiao Youning, who was sleeping soundly in the corner, and mumbled.
Jianyin heard his response outside, knowing that it was convenient to speak at this time, and took the opportunity to tell him the news he had received last night: “The picture was divided up very scattered, and only a small piece of paper was found from that person yesterday. .”
When they came to that village, they were ordered by the emperor to find something. The village is different, and I knew it early on. I deliberately rushed to another place first, and then went around there to stay close to the goal, but accidentally ran into Xiao Youning’s master and servant.
“The things will be sent back urgently…” Ye Shen said in a calm voice, his eyes fell on Xiao Youning again and said, “Find a doctor when you enter the city.”
Jianyin was surprised: “Fifth Lord, are you hurt?!”
Ye Shen leaned against the car wall and closed his eyes: “It’s not me.”
It was the one that kindly picked up the carriage for a while.
He really caused trouble for himself. The author has something to say: Ye Shen: I really trouble myself.
Later, Ye Shen thought every day why the little trouble didn’t come to him.
